What Thoughts or Reflections do you have regarding your tour of Earle? by Chelsea Henderson https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q Feel free to write multiple items, use images, ask questions... en-us 2020-08-05 02:22:37 UTC 2020-08-05 14:57:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Students may not have good spaces at home to do homework. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670131720 2020-08-05 13:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670131720 Students may be tired when coming into class. Giving them some time to wake up and trying to do an activity in the morning to help wake them up would most likely be beneficial to me as a teacher before going into my lessons. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132107 2020-08-05 13:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132107 After the tour, I definitely have a better understanding of the community. I have a better understanding of the students and what they see on a daily bases. I am glad that we had the tour because I will be able to establish a better relationship with my students and their parents. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132366 2020-08-05 13:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132366 https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132605 One thing I noticed was the lack of activities that kids have in their living areas. I also a little boy and girl who looked excited to see the bus go past their house. ]]> 2020-08-05 13:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132605 Students have to be motivated to come to school given that some of them have a significantly long commute in order to receive their education. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132620 2020-08-05 13:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132620 The city was much larger than I expected, I have never been off of 64 https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132646
I noticed that the homes were older. ]]> 2020-08-05 13:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670132646 Earle Tour https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670133467 I realized that Earle is bigger than I expected and depending on where the students live, the living conditions varied.

]]> 2020-08-05 13:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670133598 There are still a lot of visible reminders of segregation. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670134132 2020-08-05 13:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670134132 I realized that there is probably a lot more going on in these students' lives than what we see on a day-to-day basis. It will be important going into this school year and future school years to consider the things that these students are going through and think of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs so that these students have all of their most important needs met to ensure they are able to get a fulfilling education. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670134806 2020-08-05 13:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670134806 https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670136192 It is a low income area so school will definitely be a place for students to get out of their homes and be their safe place. ]]> 2020-08-05 13:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670136192 Students may come from large families, so the high school students may be helping younger siblings or even have a job. We need to be understanding when it comes to school work and not assign things just to keep them busy. https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670136229 2020-08-05 13:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670136229 NTO Tour Reflection https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670138404 As we were riding I realized I had no idea about the community. I had often heard of the small towns surrounding Earle, but it was truly eye opening to see the conditions. ]]> 2020-08-05 13:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670138404 Reflections https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670138978 From my reflection on seeing the living condition(s) of the people that live in and around Earle is very saddening. It doesn't change the fact that I want to help these people one way or another. It makes me realize that a lot of these students may be wrapped up in personal/financial problems that manifests themselves in a lot of social and/or academic issues and that most likely I as a teacher will have to work extremely diligently in order to give these young minds the best education I am capable of in the hopes that some of them move on to become doctors, lawyers, business men, etc. Maybe they could bring those skills back to Earle.]]> 2020-08-05 13:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chenderson75/drz5ndxdgppwr39q/wish/670138978
